Aunty Jo Jo with her gorgeous friend Li Ki admiring Christmas lights @ Orchard Road, SingaporeLast September, I re-located back to Singapore after almost 10 years. The transition has been very easy because so many of my friends have also made the move. However, I did ensure that my new job requires 50% travel to avoid the "cabin fever syndrome", which is quick to take hold in an island nation.
Some things I really enjoy about Singapore...
- Friends from Malaysia, Australia, Switzerland and UK who have all re-located to Singapore
- Singaporeans seem to have become friendlier, funnier and much more tolerable - or maybe I've mellowed and become more tolerant :-)
- The business climate is exciting and challenging
- International cuisine, arts & theatre is more interesting than KL
- Living only 15 minutes away from the airport
- Err...dare I say it...earning Sing dollars is so liberating
Other things I'm not so fond of...
- Not having a car! (I hope to remedy that soon)
- Trying to catch a cab on rainy days
- Ludicrous rental for condos and apartments
- Crowds along Orchard Road and Vivo City
